Chapter 709: Visiting the New Garden
After hearing what Xu Peng had happened, Xu Hao didn't need to express his opinion. The third uncle Xu Zengfu took it on him. Both things were either difficult to deal with, or they were a little trivial. Among them, Li Xiaoxian's simplicity could be solved by money alone. Xu Peng's fame involved many officials from all over the country. To find the person involved, Ding Kun, and communicate with the Ministry of Personnel.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Solving suffering is nothing. For those like Li Xiaoxian, giving him a lot of money may even be completely exhausted in just a few years. Xu Peng's experience of this disaster should be a good temper for himself. In addition, he is talented, and he may be able to pass the imperial examination or even a high school Jinshi. In the least, he will be able to manage his land and live a stable life.
Xu Hao returned to the inner house with questions. Xu Peng and Li Xiaoxian were invited by Xu Zengfu to stay in the third room. The next day, Liu Zhi was indeed targeted by Xu Cuiyun and did not dare to go to the Jin family again. Xu Zengfu happened to summon all the juniors and said he wanted to go to the new house to visit, so he took the opportunity to come over.
After passing Qingshuang's Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, everyone praised it all the way. Xu Peng and Li Xiaoxian were stunned. What was the house? It was simply a palace.
Xu Zengfu was very excited and said, "Let's sit here, and the gusts of lotus wind blow over, and I feel refreshed from the bottom of my heart."
Xu Hai said: "The poem "Lotus leaves surround the door and fragrant flowers" can be named Xiangsheng."
Several guests from the long room immediately applauded. Liu Zhi and Liu Mao were unwilling to let the scene and wrote a poem improvised.
Xu Hao remembered that Zhao Liang and Xue Wen were also nominated here. They probably saw the scenery very good but did not name it. They were just because they were itchy in their skills. It was also an elegant thing that scholars talked about.
Xu Peng said: "I made a couplet, please give me advice. The wind blows in the mountains behind the blue clouds; the moon flies in the sound of the flute."
Xu Hao nodded secretly. Sure enough, the others praised him when they saw that he was a relative of the Xu family and the third master. Someone wrote down the couplets and waited for the grandmothers in the inner hut to nod in person, and then they could write them here.
Everyone sat for a while, walked out of the pavilion and walked forward. In front of them was a second-floor water pavilion with cloud windows open on all sides. The Hunan curtains were half hanging, and outside the window was a lotus pond. At this time, the green leaves were paved and dancing in the wind, which was the most refreshing season.
Xu Song smiled and said, "Only here can be called "scented"."
Xu Hai, whose reputation at home has plummeted, was eager to show his feelings and said, "What if you name it 'Pixiang'?"
Xu Zengfu nodded with a smile. Xu Hai said again: "Please think of another pair of friends in cousin."
Xu Peng smiled and said, "It should be up to the brother to think about it."
Xu Zengfu was very happy. Suddenly, he said to Xu Jiang who was mingling in the crowd: "You can do it."
Xu Jiang looked around, thought hard for a while, and then the master whispered a low voice, and then he said, "The small garden has newly opened the southwest corner; the bright moon divides the upper and lower ponds equally."
Xu Zengfu frowned and said, "I think I have seen it somewhere, and the sentences have no deep meaning, so it's not good."
"I have neglected my studies recently, and my father blamed me." Xu Jiang lowered his head to review, turned his head and curled his lips secretly.
I wrote poems all the way. I stopped and stopped, and Xu Hao felt very bored. Fortunately, my third uncle never called him to write poems and essays, so he just wanted to be a guest.
Thinking about how I would take a group of people to examine the knowledge of my children and show the majesty of being a father, it would be a pleasure. I couldn't help but laugh, and then I wondered what if my sons were empty. I couldn't help but worry about it, worrying about gains and losses, and realizing the difficulty of being a father.
As we walked, the high mountain blocked the way, with green trees all over the mountains and green. Xu Hao said: "Although the mountain road here is flat, it is difficult to walk. We can take a detour, and it is the same."
Xu Zengfu said: "I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time, so I can use this to practice my waist and feet."
At this moment, everyone slowly walked up the mountain. The mountain road was made of white stones. It was really easy to walk, but it was also very laborious. There was a pavilion halfway up the mountain, and I sat down and named it as a couplet. Xu Zengfu said: "The lake and mountain are surrounded by wine; the surroundings are surrounded by gods."
Xu Peng praised: "It's rare that there are only ten words, there are scenes and people." Everyone flattered again, making Xu Zengfu smile and squint.
Li Xiaoxian kicked the ground hard and couldn't help asking, "Are the mountains here made of manpower?"
Xu Hai explained: "It's all the things that were originally there, and only some trees were added. If the ground was flat, it would not be piled up for four or five years."
"That's really a big deal." Li Xiaoxian said enviously, thinking that if he could live here for a day, it would be a waste of time.
Everyone continued to walk upwards, the mountain road became narrower and narrower, with plum trees on both sides, and the artistic conception was quiet and steep. Xu Song and Xu Jiang hurriedly supported Xu Zengfu.
When I walked to the top of the mountain, the concave pink wall was surrounded by various plum trees, the two-story high red pavilion doors, and the window railings were extremely exquisitely carved. Looking around on the railing, the distant mountains and near waters were all in front of me.
The plaque read "Naohongxie", and there was obviously a master. Those who knew it knew that this was the residence of the fourth girl who did not want to leave the house. She could guess the gender of the master if she didn't know it, so she was inconvenient to visit.
Xu Hao invited everyone to sit on the attic on the side. Xu Peng seemed to like this place very much, and said repeatedly: "It's good to watch the moon, enjoy the snow and taste plums here."
Xu Zengfu said: "The four girls can choose. If it is a good day for spring and autumn, burning incense and studying here, that is a blessing."
Everyone said everything and said it. It is recognized that this place has won the entire park, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the higher the tall buildings in later generations, because the broader the vision, it feels like standing at the peak of the world.
After winding down the mountain path, I passed by two courtyards in a row. They were all carved and painted buildings, and they were not as good as going in to take a closer look. They were Xu Miaojin's Taohuawu and Yushi Xiangyu's Shuyaozhai. Xu Hao also deliberately avoided it.
Bypassing the long corridor, I saw a pink tile house in front, and thousands of green bamboos were exposed from the wall. Xu Zengfu looked at Xu Hao and walked in first. The yard was covered with bamboo shade, and a five-colored rain and stone path in the middle was filled with all kinds of patterns.
When you reach the end, there are five monasteries on the front, with three bright and two dark rooms, and there are several more rooms. Two magnolia wooden pens in the backyard, which are reflected in purple and white, and are blooming like flower umbrellas.
Xu Peng nodded and said, "This place is so elegant, and the beauty lies in these bamboos."
Xu Hao explained: "This is for my two sisters to go home. I am afraid that I will not be popular, so I will live a beautiful girl from Gaoli. It is probably the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Stone Records I mentioned. Sister Luzhu is my third uncle's beloved daughter. She likes bamboo forests like me, so I must give her a name here."
Xu Zengfu smiled and said, "Then just change one word, it is called Xiangchun Pavilion."
Everyone was forced to praise him. When they left the backyard, they were close to Yanque Lake. The streams in the garden were like belts, and the lakes were everywhere. They climbed a short red railing bridge, passed through the flower beds, and there was a unique courtyard.
The bamboo fence is a barrier to connect the flower shed. Half leads to the fragrance of wood. The half opens with roses, red, white and white. Under the shed is a concave hall, passing by the hall, and it is another bamboo fence.
A moon cave door made of flowers. The green willows droop in the door are in full bloom, and green peaches are set against a few exquisite peak stones. When you walk to the end of the corridor, you will find a brilliant red sandalwood framed mirror door.
Xu Hao pushed the door away and led everyone in. It was a small villa with a combination of Chinese and Western style. It was very tall and bright, and did not look abrupt. The carved murals and other things did not show any Western signs, but used a Bogu partition. There was an open-air hot spring in the backyard, with banana and crabapple trees on both sides. The interesting-shaped windmill stones separated the hot springs of men and women.
Xu Hai smiled and said, "This is the residence of the third brother and sister-in-law. It is the finishing touch of the entire garden and the central area. There are several courtyards connected behind it, so you can't see it if you can't go there."
Xu Zengfu said with emotion: "The third brother has protected his sister for many years and asked him for his blessings. Everyone is safe and sound. It is called Huchun Garden. It also uses the poetic meaning of "begging for spring and protecting begonia". The large seat in the front yard is called "Huchun Hall", which has the meaning of protecting children's healthy growth. There are words such as red cherries and green bananas in the back yard, which are the words for sending spring. We might as well turn it over and name it Liuchun Garden."
Xu Hao was a little moved. The elders saw everything he did and remembered it in his heart. Although he didn't say anything on weekdays, he could feel the desire to cherish the sisters in his family, and he had no more joy in gaining the understanding and approval of his relatives. He was in a very happy mood for a moment.
Walking out of the yard, another hill was approaching. After passing through the winding mountain path, two rows of peach and apricot trees formed a forest, and there was a cool tiled house hidden in the forest.
Yingmen is Daling Mountain Rock, which has planted many strange grasses, including those with vines, those with vines, and those with flowers and fruits. Two large green trees behind the mountain rocks cover the shade and fill the yard with five Qingxias on the top, and there are corridors on all sides.
Xu Zengfu said in surprise: "The structure here is quite amazing, whose work is it?"
Xu Hai explained with a smile: "It was the work of the second and third sisters. It was also prepared for the daughters when I was free to go back to my parents' home for leisure."
Xu Zengfu touched his beard and laughed: "I said why are the peach blossoms blooming! Yes, in the future, all the granddaughters live here, our house will be lively and lively!"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "That's what the child thinks."
"Haha! OK." Xu Zengfu was very happy. "I also want to stay in Meiyuan in Siyatou for a few days, so I have to ask her to move for the time being."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "You will naturally have to take over the magpie nest. In fact, there is a plum garden behind you. There are too many people in your home who like plum blossoms."
Everyone gave up their thoughts of sitting down to rest. Xu Peng and Li Xiaoxian, who were here for the first time, had already become numb. They were really luxurious and elegant, with countless pavilions and towers that were so dazzling that they felt shocked.
Although Xu Hao was unwilling to spend more money and had not much budget in the entire mansion, Zhu Gaochi was moved by his achievements. Some people chose to retreat in a hurry before their prime. They mistakenly thought that Xu Hao was still worried about the fate of the founding heroes. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang once thanked Xu Da for his contributions, he specially issued an order to repair the garden for the Xu family, and secretly issued an order to build the garden at all costs.
Xu Hao didn't know that it was hard to refuse, so the new house was definitely even better than the Duke of Wei's Mansion. The princess's mansion and the princess's mansion and the princess's mansion were far behind. It was not an exaggeration to be known as the No. 1 garden in the world. Fortunately, the matter was done in a low-key manner, and it was very appropriate to be anywhere else in the garden. Otherwise, Xu Hao would have to sleep and eat, and he understood the principle of the guilt of possessing a treasure.
In terms of area and palaces, it cannot be compared with the vassal palaces in various places. The garden can be compared.
Walk out the pine trees and weeping willows on the hillside in front, and then there are a large area of plum trees, about hundreds of which are located. It is surrounded by mountains and the sea of fragrance. There are several beautiful rooms on the hillside and under the cliffs.
Everyone looked at it and found that some were named "Hanxiangguan" and some were named "Fuyue Cliff". Xu Zengfu used the meaning of the word "old moonlight" and named it "old moon".
After climbing over the cliffs, the mountain scenery became even more secluded. Guilin was everywhere on the ridge of Yanao. There were several elixir houses in Guilin, named "Jinsuan". After this rock path, the terrain gradually lowered, and strange stones appeared. There was a yard nearby, with sparse tung and thin stones, so it was called "Yaolin Immortal Hall". At this time, I was so tired that I couldn't write a couplet. There were still many wind pavilions and water pavilions in it, which could not be read for a while.
When I walked down, I suddenly heard the sound of water gurgling, as clear as jade. It turned out to be a waterfall that was surging down from the mountainside, and was pouring into the lotus pond below with the roar of the water.
The water surface of the lotus pond was very wide, with a willow dike in the middle. Xu Hai led everyone to walk past the Yanchi Bridge and headed straight to the south of the willow dike. Suddenly, there was a six-story water pavilion in the middle of the island.
As we walked along, the water pavilion was not only high but also very spacious. Each floor had seven rooms and three volumes in front and back, and five horizontal halls on both sides, with green windows and oil curtains on each side.
Xu Hai explained: "This is for the elders to escape the summer heat. There are all bedrooms and flower halls. Even if the whole family lives here, it is not crowded. There are also courtyard kitchens behind the island. There are too many walks today, so I can rest here."
Xu Zengfu said: "Fortunately, there are scenery everywhere and I don't feel too tired."
As he said that, he had already sat down in front of the corridor. At this time, the sunset was about to set, and the water birds flew on the lake, and the shadows of flowers were pleasant and refreshing.
Xu Peng said: "This is indeed a good place to spend summer, but unfortunately, I should leave when it comes to summer."
Everyone cheered up and named it a poem together. While talking, they saw a pleasure boat on the Liuban opposite him slowly and stopped in front of the pavilion.
It turned out that Xu Hao was worried that his third uncle was too tired, so he ordered the boatwoman to come and pick him up. Everyone was still chatting and laughing when they got on the boat. Before they knew it, they could not help but unknowingly arrived in front of Xiangsheng Pavilion. Xu Hao glanced at the Bagua Formation hidden in the cliff and sighed. If no one led the way, he would have to fall into it if he came in. The girl Qingshuang cheated on people.
That night, Xu Zengfu went to Qianshoutang to pay tribute to his mother and told her about her visit to the new house today. The old lady smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao said you want to go to the garden, but she really told her to tell her."
Zhu Qiaoqiao said, "Let's also ask the old aunt to visit the new garden. The old lady will talk to us and give us a face."
Mrs. Mu, who came to play cards, said, "I'm just about to go shopping, but I'm not an outsider, do you need to ask?"
The old aunt smiled and said, "That's exactly what the family said, why bother to say?"
The old lady said, "Okay, since they have agreed, let's all of us gather together and Qiaoqiao will make a recommendation."
"The elders don't need to spend money." Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "I'll respect this little host." She decided to do it now, and she will be the host and have a meal in the new garden the day after tomorrow.
Xu Hao and Mu Ningxue were a little embarrassed. They originally planned to move some people over the past few months, and then move them away one after another. But shortly after Li Fang died, Princess Lin'an lost her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Li Mao and Cuitao wanted to move over with her, and they couldn't help feeling lonely and sad.
